I entered into my house. My mom was sitting in the sofa.
- Hi mom - I said
She looked at me smiling
- Hey sweetie - her face changed - what happened to u?
- Oh, I've fell and hit my face with a rock - I said
- Are u okay? - she asked
I nodded.
We had dinner.
- Zoey - said my mom- Sara and I have a present for u
I smiled.
- What is it? - I happily asked
My mom pulled out a lovely bracelet. It was golden and had a Z.
- Do u like it? - Mom asked
- I love it! Thanks - I hugged her and then did the same with Sara
I went to sleep.
"Maybe Patrick has a present for me" I thought before I fell asleep.
8am
- Happy birthday - said my mom with a big smile upon her face
- Happy birthday - said Sara
I walked school alone because Sara had already left.
- HAPPY BIRTHDAY! - Sara and Olivia yelled
They hugged me.
- Hey, what's that bruise on your face? - Oli asked
I covered it.
- Nothing - I said
- Henry?! - Emma was really angry
I nodded.
- Omg someday I will literally kill him - she said
I laughed.
- So for celebrating your birthday Oli and I have thought about going to dinner together - Emma said
- What time? - I asked
- 8 pm at The Bar - Oli said
- Okay
The Bar was the place where everybody went with their friends. I saw Patrick at the other side of the corridor. He was smiling. So cute.
The day at school ended and I went where me and Patrick were supposed to meet but... he wasn't there. "Maybe today he comes late" I thought. But I waited and waited and he didn't appear. "This has to be a joke. He leaves me around the day of my birthday?". In that moment I was hating him so much. How could he did that to me? What an asshole. I walked home and lay down in my bed. I felt that he really did not care about me. I started crying. "Okay Zoey, u have to chill" I told to myself "Now u are going to have a great time with your friends". I smiled. So I dressed up.
- Mom I'm going to have dinner with Emma and Olivia - I announced
She smiled.
- Okay Zoey, have a great time - she said
I left my home and walked to The Bar. In the door Oli and Emma were waiting for me. We got inside and sat on a table.
- Zoey are u okey? - Emma asked
I looked at her.
- Mm.... actually not. - I confessed
- What is wrong? - they asked
They were the 2 only persons in the entire world that knew about me and Patrick's thing. Not even my sister knew it.
I explained to them what happened with Patrick.
- Are u kidding me? - Oli said - Like what is his fucking problem?!
- I don't know. I hope he gives me a good explanation - I said
- I'm going to kill him when I see him- Oli was really angry
- Well... u'll not have to wait - said Emma pointing behind us
I turned and I saw Bowers gang getting inside the place and sitting in a table.
Patrick's POV
So we went into The Bar. We sat on a table and I looked around the place. There was a lot of people. But then I saw Emma's face and... Fuck. Zoey! I forgot about her precisely the day of her birthday. "Okay Patrick. U are an asshole". She stood up and headed to the bathroom. I followed her.
Zoey's POV
I stood up and went to the bathroom. I looked myself at the mirror and then I saw someone behind me. Patrick. I turned and looked at him.
- Happy birthday? - he said
- Are u fucking kidding me? - I said
He started to talk, but I didn't let him.
- U fucking knew that today was my birthday Patrick, u knew it! - I yelled at him
- Yes.... and I'm really sorry Zoey. I just forgot it - he told me
- It's more thang that. U even forgot about me. Where were u while I was waiting for u? - I was very angry
He breathed.
- I just completely forgot about it, and I'm sorry Zoey, I'm really sorry - he said while grabbing my waist
I pushed him away.
- U do not care about me Patrick - I said
I couldn't help but started crying.
- Of course I do - he replied
I said no with my head.
- You don't.
I left the bathroom.
Patrick's POV
Then she left. Of course I cared about her. She was my only reason to smile. She was my girl, she was.... simply my everything. I felt a lot of sadness inside of me. I took out of my pocket the necklace that I was going to give her as a present. I squeezed it with rage.
- Excuse me sir, this is the girl's bathroom - a girl told me
- Shut the fuck up - I said while walking away
Zoey's POV
I went back to the table.
- What happened - Emma asked
I dried my tears with my hand.
- Nothing - I said
I was crying a lot actually. I really loved him and... that hurts.
- Girl u know we are here to listen to u - Oli said grabbing my hand
- I know
We had dinner.
- I'm going home - I announced
- Do u want us to accompany u? - Emma asked kindly smiling
- No, don't worry - I smiled
I made my way home and.... guess who was waiting for me at my house's door?
- Patrick what are u doing here?
- Just... well, here's your birthday birthday gift - he said
He gave me a silver necklace. It was a choker. It had letters hanging on it. I read them. My girl. I looked at him.
- I'm not forgiving u - I said
He looked away and then he took me in his arms and started to walk somewhere.
- What are u doing? - I yelled - let me down!
He continued walking. We arrived at a place full of flowers which I couldn't see very well because it was all dark. He put me in the ground and then lay down next to me. The sky was full of stars. That was so beautiful.
- Zoey... I'm sorry. Like I don't know why I forgot about u because u are.... u are my favorite thing in this world. Every time that I'm with u I feel so loved, I feel so good - he smiled - Because u make me feel like nobody else can make me feel, u make feel like I'm actually good for something.....
- And what is it? - I asked
- Being crazy in love with u - he confessed - Zoey I..... I actually... I love u.
I looked at him.
- I love u too, psycho - I smiled
He kissed me.
- So u forgive me? - he asked
I rolled my eyes.
- Kind of - I answered
I lead my head in his chest. He started playing with my hair.
- U make me feel so happy new kid - he said
I closed my eyes. He was a psycho but.... he was MY psycho, and I love him so much.
